when sarah sanders came an sarat was an entirely different situation. she tangled with the press when she had press briefings. in some ways she was every bit as controversial and sarah sanders worked very hard to perform some of those functions of the traditional press secretary and have a constructive relationship with the white house press corps. i found her generally very pleasant to deal with on those logistics and the matters you have thave to deal with especiay during the white house correspondents association. there are the trips and extensive give and take over the access. she was responsive. she acted much more like a traditional press secretary, and i found it very constructive relationship with sarah sanders. with sean it was like pure hostility from the number one he famously had that press conference when he came into the briefing room the night after the inauguration when healed of everybody for crowd size and i reached out to him and immediately after. i wasn't in the room that i was absolutely watching it. there were two things that horr

sarah sanders when she came and it was a different situation. she tangled with the press when she had press briefings. she was in every bit controversial but sarah sanders worked very hard to perform some of the functions of the traditional press secretary to have a constructive relationship with the white house. i found her generally pleasant to deal with on the logistics and the matters you have to deal with especially the white house correspondents association. when there are trips and extensive give and take over but access there will be and the press. she was responsive and acted much more like a traditional press secretary, and i found a very constructive relationship with sarah sanders. with sean it was like pure hostility from day number one. she had the one press conference when he came into the briefing room. i reached out and my colleague was there for abc. it was a saturday night as i recall and so i was not in thate room that i was watching it and there were two things that horrified me about the performance. one is that he said at

sarah sanders when she came and it was an entirely different situation. sarah tangled with the pressman should present briefings. in some way she was every bit as controversial as sean. but sarah sanders worked very hard to perform some of those functions of a traditional press secretary java constructive relationship of the press corporate i found are generally very pleasant to deal with on those logistics. kind of the matters you have to deal with especially through the white house correspondents association. there's foreign trips, extensive give-and-take over what axis there will be, where the press will be, she was responsive, she acted much more like a traditional press secretary. i found it very constructive relationship with sarah sanders. sean, was like pure hostility really from day one. he famously had that one press conference, it wasn't a press conference i don't know what it was. he came into the briefing room, right after the inauguration. he yelled at everybody for about crowd size. i reached out to him immediately after you can imagine, my

i found that a very constructive relationship with sarah state on - - sanders. sean was pure hostility from the number one he had the one press conference actually i don't know what it was but he came into the briefing room right after the inauguration the night after to tell everybody about crowd size. i reach out to him immediately after. my colleague was there for abc. i was in new york. it was a saturday night. i was not in the room but i was watching. two things that horrified me about that performance. one is that he said at least three things i could document that were verifiably false. second, as offensive to me that you may appreciate this that he left the room without taking a single question. that is somewhat sacred that is a room for give-and-take with journalists. a press secretary tell me if i'm wrong come i never witnessed a press secretary comment speak from the podium and not take a single question. have you ever seen that? >> no. i have one great story about the abc white house correspondent britt hume. i had a lot of briefings and had taken ov

>> sean: sarah sanders, this is state run tv. you actually live with this mob, you know. president ten days after the first corona case, travel ban. in the first quarantine in over 50 years, then subsequent travel ban's. i'll get to this later and a second, march 2nd, governor of new york says we're going to be fine. go out on the town in new york city, they had no ventilators, no respirators, no hospital beds, provided all of it for them, never ran out of anything and is there anything that donald trump ever does that is right and how would they treat him here? >> certainly not in the media's eyes. that is one of the most outrageous things about this is the double standard for people like justice kavanaugh, they are falsely accused in the media, wall-to-wall media coverage all day every day. this was a republican in these accusations were being made against him, you'd see wall-to-wall media coverage. the hypocrisy is shameless and just when you think the media can't go any lower, they find a way to go lower. they had all these clips of all these democrats, joe biden came

. >> stephanie grisham took over after sarah sanders left her position.ow she's going back to the east wing with melania trump where she spent most of her time. but what's notable is she's leaving the job without ever having briefed reporters. that's something that became really striking early on in her tenure. she initially told people she was going to revive those daily press briefings that had really gone by the wayside at the end of sarah sanders' time at the job and then she never did. she told people this had to do with the president himself, that he did not want her briefing reporters, but you see how that has changed in recent days because the president himself has come out and briefed reporters on the coronavirus pandemic. what is also notable about this is this comes as there is a clear communication shake-up happening inside the west wing. that is the chief of staff mark meadows, who is formerly in his role, is considering several people for press secretary. it doesn't seem he has selected anyone for the job yet, but he's also considering hirin

. >> we are shocked -- >> sarah sanders was a freshman and was surprised to receive this letter to startto-face classes. >> it is interesting. it's weird. all my friends who have college-age students have their kids for the summer and can keep them home and that's not our case, which is good and bad. >> cal maritime says the school is ready to take serious precautions when students do return, and they will be required to wear face coverings anytime they leave the door and cafeterias will be closed with food instead delivered to their doors. >> sounds like there are a lot of restrictions, but how do you feel as a parent sending your son back to school. >> it's mixed, and we are taking the lead by our son, checking in with how he is feeling and it's a trial and we will see how it goes. >> it's a small school and just 1,000 students, and despite her concerns she realizes this might be a good one to try first. >>> a silicon valley tech company is contributing to the fight. they have self-driving vehicles whicher oll meant der gesace ded teams without the push of any buttons. >> if you give a

sarah sanders for example came under justifiably so a lot of criticism for blatantly -- for saying things that were blatantly untrue at white house briefings. i kind of go into this in the book a bit. sarah sanders, seeven sean spic back in the day, they may have said things that are untrue but they can't compete with donald trump. donald trump, as you know, is effectively the spokesperson, the press secretary, the communications director, the chief of staff. it's all trump. so to aim your ire at his staff for saying things that are not true is really -- is a really misplaced anger. this comes from the top. i recounted a scene where i interviewed him backstage at a rally and it's probably his most forgotten campaign pledge from 2016. he promised that i will not lie to you. he promised he would tell the truth. this was donald trump in 2016, i promise i will always tell you the truth. i asked him about that backstage at a rally during the midterms and his answer was amazingly candid. he said, well, you know, i try to tell the truth when i can. i tell the truth when i can. reminded me of an

for reaction white house press secretary sarah sanders. basically -- sarah, great to hae you on. nine states with less than 1000 cases. half the country has less than 2500 cases. the reopening plan may be announced tomorrow. the president says ramping up protective kits, personal protective gear, phase opening of churches schools, restaurants. your take on the plan that could come tomorrow? >> look i think the president is doing all the right things in terms of taking in massive amount of data both from health care professionals and health care experts like dr. birx, dr. fauci as well as taking in information from his economic advisors. the president is very focused on doing two things, saving american lives and saving american livelihoods. we've seen that in every action that he is taking. he continues to do that. i have no doubt that he is going to continue going through this process over the next 24 hours. maybe they roll out the plan tomorrow, maybe they push it off but one thing i know for sure they will do everything they can to make sure they are making the best decision t

mark seale and sarah sanders. brian.-in music to go along with that a lot of positive news yesterday. the fact is when somebody said 200,000 people die oops 60,000. not going to be right away it's going to be in august. that's how good we are doing and how off the models were. you have to wonder as much as social distancing working i wonder if the economists are going to get in that room and say we have to stand up this economy in some way before we are not going to be able to stand when this is all said and done. steve: right, brian, it's still 60,000 people which is a staggering number. brian: it's a high number. but how many people are going to die as the country goes flat on its back for three months. we're not going to look like the same country. so the economists have to have a say in this. today, the senate will discuss another $250 billion bailout aimed at relieving small businesses that are hit hard during the coronavirus. remember, there is money there gillian turner joins us live from the white house as funds

let's bring in sarah sanders. ot of the people applying for unemployment benefits and money that we had to print in order to put into states that aren't equipped to really handle this type of volume. this seems like a lose, lose situation. >> sarah: the president is right on saving lives and saving livelihoods. that's why it's so important that we look at ways to help protect americans. for many people a job loss is a devastating blow to their family, to their way of life and their ability to feed their family and it's also one of the reasons that it's been so frustrate to go watch nancy pelosi drag her feet on getting emergency funding for small businesses to help a lot of the workers out in this really difficult time, but at the end of the day, we have to look at how we can safely return americans back to work and while those that are the most vulnerable, most at risk, we have to look at ways to protect them even further because they can't go back to work. the president has been smart to allow states flexibility

stephanie grisham took over for sarah sanders last june >>> new bay area cases of coronavirus continue to spread it nursing homes in the latest confirmed covid 19 cases are in pleasant hill and east bay senior living center and another in marin county. that adds to the growing list of about 10 local facilities dealing with an outbreak. and the contra costa county health official site for residents at the carlton senior living center tested positive and three of them are in the hospital and nine staff members illness and a ucf professor says it may be partly due to the fact many nursing homes have staff members who are not licensed nurses and they are not familiar with infection control procedures.>> hospitals have been the priority of people are forgetting that it is actually the nursing homes and assisted living facilities that are far more vulnerable than the hospitals.>> at the wind chime of marin nursing facility three people tested positive for covid 19 including one who died saturday. the professor we talked to said state health officials should require those facilities to public

sarah huckabee sanders, thank you so much. >> sarah: thank you, thanks for having me on.an who is following weather via skype. janice: georgia, we had severe weather yesterday stretching from texas, mississippi, alabama, georgia, some of the areas that got hit hard last weekend in easter weekend. so across portions of the sunshine state where we could see large hail, damaging winds, isolated tornadoes and the threat extends north ward across the carolinas, coastal carolinas and that will be ongoing throughout the afternoon and then things will start to improve thankfully in the next couple of hours. in other weather news we will see potential for new system move out from the rockies and affect portions of texas. again, through louisiana, mississippi, up towards arkansas on wednesday, so another potential severe weather situation. the rest of the country looks fairly quiet. cooler temperatures for two-thirds of us but in florida we are dealing with the 90's in south florida and we are still going to deal with the system moving into the west across the great leaks. some --

. >> reporter: she also did the interviews not from the white house lawn, like you saw sarah sanders she bent to the bureau, so you couldn't even ask her a question after the interviews were over. but this move was one people had seen coming inside the white house for a wheel. stephanie grisham stopped attending senior meeks regularly. people had the idea when the president hired mark meadows, there could likely be a shake-up. the communications shop was not holding press briefs. anderson, you have seen the president really take over the briefing room during this pandemic, so he wants a forward-facing public strategy, and now they're replacing those officials. she's going back to the east wing as melania trump's chief of staff. >> president trump has removed the person in charges of overseeing the emergency funds. which is -- that's something that congress mandated that somebody overlook these things. who was that person and who now is in charge of oversight? >> reporter: these glenn fein. he's been in that position simp before trump took office, and he was the one who was picked as

for more on the prospect of when we might see the economy get restarted, i want to bring and now sarah sanders house press secretary and now fox news contributor. sarah, always great to see you. you know, at issue for many of those people from our previous reporting last hour, it is more than just whether or not they have the freedom to do what they want. they want to go back to work. [laughs] you know what i mean? i'm wondering, having been said the white house, what kind of pressure do you think is on the president right now, and his team, to do this reopen? >> look, the president and his team, as well as governors across the country, are under a tremendous amount of pressure. not just to reopen the government, but also to protect american lives. i think the president said it very clearly, that this would be one of the hardest decisions he has to make as president. making that determination of how they best protect american lives, but also american livelihoods. it's a very tough balancing act. i think the president is very smart to work with the nation's governors and provide states some fle

it former white house press secretary and fox news contributor sarah sanders is with us, i begin with you. i know you lived through a lot of this and that is the mob hates the president, they hated him the day he came down the escalator. if you lived through russia, ukraine, impeached -- there's never been in history -- i want the media to answer questions. i want to ask them in retrospect was the travel ban a good decision? next thing i want to say is what did the president do well in your opinion, the hospitals he built, the ventilators he built, the respirators he sent, did they say anything good? >> i don't think they can, they are so blinded by their hatred for this president and they care more about destroying him and tearing him down and trying to spread their message of negativity about this president than they do about building this country up, no matter how great of a job donald trump does, no matter how many lives he saves, how many livelihoods he protects, it will never be enough for the mainstream liberal media. they really want to do nothing but destroy him and i think i

the white house press secretary and fox news contributor sarah sanders. i'll be honest, i have no respect for them. none. i think they are the worst of the worst. they can't find a single good thing to say that this president has done during this whole crisis and he's done a lot of good. >> you're absolutely right and the reason why is because they wake up every single morning and they go to bed every single night with one goal in mind and that's to to destroy the president. they no longer care about getting out the news or getting information to their constituents. all they care about is destroying this president. we have seen every single day the nastiness and the viciousness that they come out this president and when he gives a little bit of it back, they absolutely melt down. it is sad let's happen and it's no doubt that obama would come after networks like fox news because he and his liberal elite friends in the media are astonished that they no longer control the narrative. there's finally a voice stepping up and saying not anymore and it's networks

for joining us now with the reaction, former white house press secretary, fox news contributor sarah sanderslong with republican congressman from the great state of florida matt gaetz. not a surprise that the news gets it wrong. when i read this i was like, well, we didn't identify a virus with pneumonia like symptoms until january -- that didn't make sense at all. >> as you said, absolutely no surprise that these other outlets would push breaking news. they've been doing it since the day president trump announced that he was going to run for president and it's gotten worse since he became president. this is just another story that i'm looking at to try to hurt the president and his administration when this is a time when our country of all time should be coming together, should be supporting the president, supporting our governors, doctors, nurses, not looking ways to divide the country but looking for ways to bring us together and it's disappointing day after day, they continue to peddle these fake stories because they think it hurts the president when in reality the polls think about that

first lady melania trump's chief of staff as she took over as press secretary back in june when sarah sanders left but never held a news briefing but she joined president trump's campaign in 2015 and worked on the 2012 presidential campaign for mitt romney. >>> today the presence of primary election in wisconsin is taking place despite the current state home orders that is after wisconsin state supreme court overruled the decision by governor tony a verse to postpone the auction until june because of the coronavirus but the court says the governor left the authority to move the election on his own and he said because of health concerns there is a shortage of poll workers.>> you know there are fewer places to serve the voters, you have larger numbers at those sites and numbers that will easily train the system.>> the democratic governor and republican-led legislature failed to agree on any accommodations for voters prompting the federal judge's ruling to allow absentee ballots to be delivered through april 13. republicans appealed the decision to the us supreme court and just yesterday the hig

lady's office, and it seems like she was one of the last people standing to get that job when sarah sanders decided to go and look at new opportunities when she left last year. mcenany, you'll remember, as you said, was a vocal supporter of donald trump in 2016 on cnn, defending him at every single turn. she left cnn to go take a job with the republican national committee and then went from there to the trump campaign, where she's been working as a spokesperson. she's maintained a very, very steadfast support of this administration, despite the many criticisms that have come its way. and again, her talking about coronavirus, her assessment of coronavirus mirrored the republican talking points on it. it mirrored the administration talking points on it very early. the fox news talking points on it, that it was not a big deal, it was no scarier than the flu, and that the president was not going to let it in here. obviously, we know, none of those things are the case. >> coronavirus, of course, is the backdrop for all that we are covering these days. and when we come back, it is certainly the b

host: you also have a connection to the bernie sanders campaign? sarahmy husband is bernie manager. campaign host: how does that apply in the tech world? sarah: in the tech world we have seen a radical change in the culture of silicon valley. use start much more vibrant, kind of culture where startups would catch fire and grow. now there is essentially a couple of strategies if you are tech startup. are you going to sell to facebook or google? the ability of innovators in silicon valley to innovate according to market needs and ideas. instead, everyone is guessing, how could i develop something that facebook will buy or google will buy? that is not necessarily really how we want an economy or an innovation sector to function. we don't want people to start new businesses or gravitate towards ideas because a handful of giant institutions might buy them up, right? good thing we are seeing particularly in silicon valley is that partly because we have really failed in so many ways to enforce antitrust laws to crackdown on competitive practices. even if you ha

sarah huckabee sanders left here and in her nine months, she never held the traditional briefing in the white house press room and there is no word yet on who will be replacing her. there's an update to the grand princess cruise ship that is scheduled to arrive in san francisco pier 35 today. we are hearing that it may dock at about 11:30 am. we hear a planned demonstration for dockworker has been canceled demanding safety for crewmembers who are still on board but it will take place at ne the crew is over but many are having trouble booking flights to their home countries. the ship is returning to the bay to refuel and restock supplies. 2 passengers and one crewmember did die. the quarantine for the cruise ship was lifted on saturday. >>> taking a look at the dow jones industrial, we are looking at a market that opened up a bit today. is up about 3 1/4%. 728 points. the nasdaq and s&p are up slightly now. they were a bit more but then we got some bad economic news but still this is up significantly from yesterday. the white house says they are considering the possibility of another rou

she was the president's third press secretary following sarah huckabee sanders. she started inna july 2019. she will be replaced by a campaign spokesperson who is out front and center on the campaign. it's worth noting, andrea, she was out downplaying the potential risk of the coronavirus during the january, february timeline. so that's something to focus on. of course, we've seen president trump in the briefing room daily and there are questions about whether or not that's sustainable. so the question now, are we going to see the resumption of these daily press briefings? we haven't gotten an answer to that, andrea. but it's a signal for the possibility that could be on the table. >> andrea, just to build on what kristen -- >> yes. >> quick, this is one of the first major moves by mark meadows, the new chief of staff. this is one of the first moves by mark meadows, the new chief of staff, and we're starting to see his power structure move inside the white house. >> where he formally left congress and now coming in as chief of staff as you point out, former head

here is sarah sanders. >> i think that's one of the most outrageous things about this is the double standardfor people like justice kavanaugh, they are falsely accused and the media gave it wall-to-wall media coverage youl day every day. if this was a republican and these accusations were being made against them, you would see, again, wall-to-wall media coverage. the hypocrisy is shameless. just when you think the media can't go any lower, they find a way to go lower. ainsley: we just want to hear his explanation of this. and i'm surprised that these journalists are not asking the questions when they interview him or when they interview his potential vice president candidates. i just, as a woman, and these journalists are interviewing other women, they need to ask at least about this. i mean, he has denied it. and she is saying it's true. but i would like to hear his response to this. i would like to hear what these women that he could select as vice president what they think about this. they need to be asked. and some of them recently have been but over the course of the last few weeks, whe

right down the center and lastly larry trotted away with his daily press briefings back when sarah had to be sanders was still his press secretary so why stop those daily briefings but now inundate us with this coronavirus meeting moments that's the answer it's coronavirus i was in when he did away with the daily briefing i was assured now respond to watch the wars in the election year now year it's a whole different ball as number of looks when there were there's never been anything like this we've never had this kind of pandemic we never had it happen in the election year this is all of the me air is anybody's guess and it's a tough call for these network executives every day to sit back and decide what we carry and what do cause at the ne at any minute he could make moves so he could be doing lord sounds like a political speech and suddenly announce by nationally but i am closing all interstate highways. and if you resist that you're in trouble or so you're i'll come down on the side of caring lariam i'm with you you are as fair as they come and voices like you are few and far these days that we'

with sean spicer, which were a constant warfare between the press secretary and the press, on to sarah sandersly pretty constructive dealing with the white house reporters behind the scenes, with some serious exceptions, but for the most part. and then stephanie grisham, who was basically -- you know, didn't brief a single time, didn't interact a lot with the white house press corps. now we have a new -- i don't know where kaylee mcnaigh menan going to be. you know there has been one press secretary in the white house and that is donald trump himself. he deals directly. i've had more direct interactions with donald trump than i've had with some of his press secretaries. he deals directly with the reporters. he attacks us in public, but he also courts us in private. >> hey, john. it is willie. great to you have back on this morning. i would be interested in your perspective as someone who covers this white house so closely of the balance we've been talking about, that doctors fauci and birx have to find in dealing with the president of the united states, giving him what he wants, being deferent

briefings which, frankly, the press was hungry for but instead of characters like sean spicer or sarah huckabee sanderserving as his own communications director. he's turned the daily pressings into a tv show, and even bragged about the ratings. during his daily reality show he uses reporters as protagonists or hate objects berating journalists for asking perfectly reasonable questions doling out false hope to his captive audience, and giving contradicting answers. the media has fallen right back on this tick of seemingly needing to normalize trump's behavior. we're seeing this even when journalists and media organizations are simultaneously calling out his dishonesty. take this headline from "the new york times" this week stating, quote, trump suggests lack of testing is no longer a problem. governors disagree. it's not exactly a he said/she said. it's not a he said/she said at all. what trump suggests is simply not true. for verification let's go to "the times" own reporting which states that the united states continues to lag behind other countries in testing per capita. that's their own reporting.

my husband is bernie sanders campaign manager's make. >> host: sarah miller, imagined the startup rate is what is that and how does that apply in the tech world? >> guest: sure, in the tech world we have seen basically a radical change in the culture of silicon valley where you use to have a much more vibrant kind of culture where startups would catch fire and grow, now there is essentially a couple of strategies if you are a tech startup and will you sell it to facebook or you sell to google and what that is done is it's warped the ability of innovators in silicon valley to innovate according to market ease and according to ideas but instead everyone is guessing how can i develop something that facebook will buy or that google will buy and that is not necessarily really how we want the economy or innovation sector to function. we don't want people to try to start new businesses and gravitate towards ideas because a handful of giant institutions might buy them up. right? the other thing we are seen particularly in silicon valley is that partly because we have really failed in so many w

sarah clarke al-jazeera. let's return to the news of bernie sanders quitting the democratic race for the us a presidency we can speak now to douglas sloan who's a democratic strategist joins us on skype from washington d.c. douglas welcome to the program this was not thanks for having me unexpected was that it was not bernie's pathway to the nomination has been closed. time before reality caught up with bernie and his supporters so this is not on its back. but a lot of people feel that it should have been a bit sooner digress airlines a little bit shaky we're going to persevered but we might we might move on if it continues in this way but it is important now to him it is very important as far as joe biden is concerned for saunas to throw his weight behind him but will he do so and will his supporters follow. bernie who will throw his weight in his support behind joe biden there's no question about that but the real question remains about bernie supporters we're. we're going to pull out of that because the problem with all these cuts is that sometimes just cuts out it's just not going to work all right let's m
